Honestly, I could probably adapt it to any number of popular historical narratives on the theme "the way people did things in the past was inherently worse than the way we do things now". The historical marriage rant is a classic though!

(Even something like slavery - yeah, the way the slaveholders did things was inherently worse, obvs., but, like, the enslaved people - of whom there were many, many more than the slave owners - actually did pretty amazing stuff within the constraints they had, and I'd rather treat them as the default people ....)
